Aquatics

Taipei American School offers a 25-meter, 7-lane indoor swimming pool. The pool is equipped with Daktronics timing system and an electronic scoreboard. Special designed swim platforms are used during our learn-to-swim and lower physical education program. 

Our recently renovated changing rooms have individual showers, bathrooms and lockers.

The TAS Aquatics Department works in conjunction with the Physical Education Department in providing a K-10 curriculum that focuses on water familiarization, fundamental skills, stroke development, safety skills and recreational activities. The lessons offer the opportunity for TAS students to learn and develop aquatic skills that suit their ability level.
 

Swimzone

The Swimzone learn-to-swim program (K-Grade5) focuses on water familiarization and the development of swimming strokes and skills. Locally certified instructors teach the classes with Aquatics faculty supervising at all times. Lessons take place in the Fall and the Spring.
